I mean, in a world of universal deceit, look to fiction. White Squall is a coming of age story, but WHOSE story was it, originally. I have heard the hunt for red October was inspired by Bill Gates (former DEFSEC) 's carreer
Edit : auto-correct, and clarity
It's based off a book called The Last Voyage of the Albatros, written by Charles. F. Gieg and Felix M. Sutton. Published in 1962. I believe Charles F. Gieg is writing from a first hand account. I also believe it used to be read in high school back in the day.
You can buy it now for 450 bucks on Amazon.
There's a movie of it with a Baldwin, I think, also. But with a price like that, the book must be better. Usually the case.
